Mark, all 1275 cranks are the same at the flywheel end. Most people with high output turbo lumps run a AP grey diaphram with a sintered bronze paddle clutch or a race plate.The paddle can be a little harsh for road driving but they do not slip and last longer than people go on about, i know!.Never ran a race plate on my turbo but my old 1380 coped with one just fine.

Regards the flywheel and backplate the lighter the better, Minispares do a decent steel ultralight set up, would reccomend their's.

Force Racing do some superlight flywheels & backplates..cost you though...FR 07984 645281.
